Mutable Collagenous Tissue: A Concept Generator for Biomimetic Materials and Devices
Marine DrugsEchinoderms (starfish, sea-urchins and their close relations) possess a unique type of collagenous tissue that is innervated by the motor nervous system and whose mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and elastic stiffness, can be altered in a ...

Endocan - a potential diagnostic marker for early onset sepsis in neonates
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019 Introduction: Neonatal early onset sepsis assessment is based on the history of pregnancy and delivery and nonspecific clinical signs. None of the biomarkers currently in use for clinical practice has adequate prognostic value, so it is not possible to ...

The Role of Decorin and Biglycan Signaling in Tumorigenesis
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 The complex and adaptive nature of malignant neoplasm constitute a major challenge for the development of effective anti-oncogenic therapies. Emerging evidence has uncovered the pivotal functions exerted by the small leucine-rich proteoglycans, decorin ...

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993 Proteoglycans are polymorphic macromolecules present in all mammalian tissues, including the skin and its appendages. They consist of a core protein to which one or more glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently attached. Broadly, they can be divided into classes based on location and core protein structure.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Keratan sulfate (KS) is a glycosaminoglycan that is enriched in vertebrate cornea, cartilage, and brain. During embryonic development, highly sulfated KS (HSKS) is first detected in the developing notochord and then in otic vesicles; therefore, HSKS has ...

Tumour necrosis factor α stimulates resorption and inhibits synthesis of proteoglycan in cartilage
Nature, 1986 During inflammatory reactions, activated leukocytes are thought to produce a variety of small proteins (cytokines) that influence the behaviour of other cells (including other leukocytes).

A Reinterpretation of Evidence for the Endothelial Glycocalyx Filtration Structure
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The endothelial glycocalyx (eGlx) is thought to be the primary macromolecular filter for fluid flux out of the vasculature. This filter maintains the higher protein concentration within the vessel lumen relative to the tissue.
